Group Sex arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Group Sex land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Herman has a weakness for strip clubs. Donny has a thing for condiments and Tiffany is a newly celibate martial artist. These are Andy's new friends after he unsuspectingly follows his dream girl into a sexual addiction recovery group. Josh Cooke and Greg Grunberg lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2010. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Group Sex holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Group Sex. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Josh Cooke is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
